Can Scorpio Lagna wear Malachite?
Malachite (Dana Firang) is ruled by Mercury. Here's what Vedic astrology says for Scorpio (Vrishchika) rising.
Why
For Scorpio (Vrishchika) Ascendant, Mercury rules the 8th house (sudden events, longevity and hidden matters) and the 11th house (gains, income and networks). Lordship of only difficult houses makes Mercury a functional malefic for Scorpio Lagna. Classical guidance is not to strengthen it with its gemstone. Because Malachite is a modern healing crystal rather than a Jyotish ratna, keeping it in your space (not worn as a ring) is a gentler way to use it.
Vrishchika Lagna gives intensity, magnetism and a researcher's mind, with Mars as ruler. You transform through crises and rarely do anything halfway.
Best stones for Scorpio Lagna
The three classically safest stones for any Lagna belong to the lords of the 1st, 5th and 9th houses (the trikonas). For Scorpio they are:
